### Guidance for Validator

#### Create wallet

To create new wallet you can use command below. Don’t forget to save the mnemonic

```
hedged keys add $WALLET
```

To recover your wallet using seed phrase

```
hedged keys add $WALLET --recover
```

Show your wallet list

```
hedged keys list
```

#### Save wallet info

Add wallet and validator address into variables

```
HEDGE_WALLET_ADDRESS=$(hedged keys show $WALLET -a)
HEDGE_VALOPER_ADDRESS=$(hedged keys show $WALLET --bech val -a)
echo 'export HEDGE_WALLET_ADDRESS='${HEDGE_WALLET_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
echo 'export HEDGE_VALOPER_ADDRESS='${HEDGE_VALOPER_ADDRESS} >> $HOME/.bash_profile
source $HOME/.bash_profile
```

#### Create validator

check your wallet balance:

```
hedged query bank balances $HEDGE_WALLET_ADDRESS
```

To create your validator run command below

```
hedged tx staking create-validator \
  --amount 1000000000uhedge \
  --from $WALLET \
  --commission-max-change-rate "0.01" \
  --commission-max-rate "0.2" \
  --commission-rate "0.07" \
  --min-self-delegation "1" \
  --pubkey $(hedged tendermint show-validator) \
  --moniker $NODENAME \
  --chain-id $HEDGE_CHAIN_ID \
  --gas=auto \
  --gas-adjustment=1.5 \
  --gas-prices="0.025uhedge"
```

#### Check your validator key

```
[[ $(hedged q staking validator $HEDGE_VALOPER_ADDRESS -oj | jq -r .consensus_pubkey.key) = $(hedged status | jq -r .ValidatorInfo.PubKey.value) ]] && echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[32mTrue\e[0m\n" || echo -e "\n\e[1m\e[31mFalse\e[0m\n"
```

#### Get list of validators

```
hedged q staking validators -oj --limit=3000 | jq '.validators[] | select(.status=="BOND_STATUS_BONDED")' | jq -r '(.tokens|tonumber/pow(10; 6)|floor|tostring) + " \t " + .description.moniker' | sort -gr | nl
```

```

Redelegate stake from validator to another validator

```
hedged tx staking redelegate <srcValidatorAddress> <destValidatorAddress> 1000000uhedge --from=$WALLET --chain-id=$HEDGE_CHAIN_ID --gas=”auto" --gas-prices=”0.025uhedge” --gas-adjustment=”1.5″
```

Withdraw all rewards

```
hedged tx distribution withdraw-all-rewards --from=$WALLET --chain-id=$HEDGE_CHAIN_ID --gas=”auto" --gas-prices=”0.025uhedge” --gas-adjustment=”1.5″
